The Prophet 5 and Prophet VS set standards and redefined the modern synthesizer. Arturia has brought these classics back to life for you.
The Prophet 5 was the first totally programmable synthesizer on the market. This revolutionary synth became the basis for all other polysynths to this day. The Prophet VS was the last synth made by SCI and again it set the synth world on its ear. Its digital vector synthesis brought a new soundscape that was then carried on in products from Korg and Yamaha.
While the Prophet 5 was known for its two-oscillator analog warmth, the Prophet VS used four digital wavetable oscillators, giving it a crystal and clear sound. Arturia have recreated both of these classic machines to give them the detail heard in the originals. The Prophet V's combined personality of analog warmth and thickness blended with the hard-edged digital sound of the VS make it perfect for a throwback 80s sound or for modern techno chord stabs.
While Prophet 5 and Prophet VS were both great machines, what if you could blend the two? Arturia's Hybrid mode is an astounding combination of Prophet 5 and Prophet VS. The result is an entirely new sound palette at your disposal: analog subtractive synthesis plus digital wavetable/vector synthesis, both available at once in one massively powerful instrument.
